Nigerian-born world heavyweight champion, Anthony Joshua, has denied having an affair with Faryal Makhdoom, wife of fellow boxer and former world champion, Amir Khan.
Khan and his wife, on Friday, sensationally announced their marriage is over in an explosive ongoing row on Twitter, which has seen them both accuse the other of cheating.
Khan, who is worth £23million, astonishingly, claimed his wife had an affair with heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua.
Joshua has, however, laughed off the claims by posting a video of Shaggy’s hit single “It Wasn’t Me”.
He then tweeted: “Bantz aside, I hope you guys can resolve your situation or this is a hack as we have never even met! Plus I like my women BBW #ItWasntMe”.
Also, Faryal, 26, had hit back, claiming her husband is lying and that he is a “cheater”.
The couple were together on holiday in Dubai to celebrate Faryal’s 26th birthday, last week, but it’s understood that Faryal has since flown back to England herself.
Earlier, on Friday, a Khan had tweeted: “Faryal moved on quick. Always mentioned to me how much she wanted to be with another guy, from all people another boxer.
“Lol moved up in the weight classes lol. Trust me I ain’t the jealous type. No need to send me pictures of the men your talking to #disgusted.
“Left my family and friends for this Faryal. I’m not hurt but another fighter. I’m making it public. You getting the divorce #Golddigger.
“Mans like Joshua can have my left overs!”
Within minutes, Faryal hit back on her own Twitter account and accused him of cheating on her.
She wrote: “I’m sure you left your family because they robbed you? Not because of me. Stop making false things up.
“Accusing other boxers just because your boxing career is finished. Man up amir.
“After all these years. I’ve always defending a cheat, always stuck around for him, always had his back. And I’m called a gold digger?
She added: ‘LOL! He’s given me jack s**t — I pay house bills and bills for my daughter myself! It’s like I’m a single mother while he’s out messing around. And he has the nerve to blast me like that?
“The amount of evidence I have on you. It can destroy you. But since I loved you at one point in my life. I’ll just let it go.
“I’m not the one who’s been in the papers every month with my pants down. Cheater!
“You have actually lost it. Wtf where do u make this stuff up from? And maybe your boxing career is finished because you’re an adulterer.
“At the end of the day I can hold my head high knowing I’ve given this marriage my 100% while amir clearly hasn’t. Bad company.
“Bad role model, always around women, alcohol and then he calls himself a Muslim and runs a charity.
“I’m sorry to all the fans & family hurt by this. But amir did not need to do stupid tweets accusing others when he’s in the wrong. #guilty.
“I think he just needs some attention because boxing hasn’t been going well for him so he’s just been acting up #30yearoldbaby.”
MailOnline reports that when Faryal was approached for a comment at the couple’s £1.4million gated home in Lostock, near Bolton, this afternoon, there was no response.
And accused Joshua has also not been seen for several days in his north London neighbourhood.
Laundry worker Hiyat, who works at Launderette in Golders Green, where the star boxer is a regular customer said the boxer has not been seen since mid-July.
His mother, Yeta, had also not been into the shop, where Anthony has had his laundry done since 2009, for a few days.
Hiyat said: “I haven’t seen Anthony for about three weeks or his mum for about three days.
“I’m not sure where he has gone though, I don’t know if he’s on holiday.”
There was also no answer at the family flat, where the 27-year-old still lives with his mum, despite being a millionaire.
The news of Khan and Faryal’s split came after the couple ended their bitter six-month public feud with Khan’s family.
Another Khan family source told MailOnline: “Faryal is evil. She took control of Amir and drove him to the extent where he has suffered depression.
“Amir was almost held hostage by in laws and was given ‘either with us or against us’ situation to decide between his family and in laws.
“That’s tragic. It was clear from very early on that Faryal is interested in Amir’s money and fame and we told Amir so that she’s a bad choice.
“We all make mistakes. It’s good Amir has reached to the conclusive fact that she’s a cheater, selfish and greedy. This was bound to happen.
“She he has been caught out, Amir has known for long she loves showing flesh to men and being interested in praise by random men and confronted her.
“They found twice in America when Amir asked her to be modest, she issued threats to Amir and demanded 60 per cent share in property. For the last five months or so she only talked about share in Amir’s wealth and nothing else.”
Make-up artist, Faryal, has had a tumultuous few months in which she became embroiled in a huge row with her husband’s family, claiming they accused her of being a gold digger and dressing in an un-Islamic fashion.
